True Magician

Chapter 190

Rome.

After the Zelretch portal threw me out at my front door, I thought about it for a moment and decided to go out and wander around, just in case. And no, it had absolutely nothing to do with the presence of demons inside. Yeah, right.

After spending a couple of seconds thinking, I chose a more or less suitable place and teleported to Rome, or more precisely, to a coffee shop located practically next door to the Vatican. It was almost the perfect place, because the Vatican, and even more so Heaven, would have been too noisy.

- "Excuse me, miss," I said with a polite smile to the waitress standing with her back to me, dressed in the establishment's uniform of a knee-length black skirt, white blouse, and apron, as well as black tights and high-heeled shoes. "Do you know what date it is today?"

At first, there was no response, and I was about to repeat my question when the waitress slowly turned around, revealing her face to me. The moment I saw who she was, my brain instantly shut down and seemed to fly off into deep space.

The waitress calmly walked over to my table, swaying her hips, her waist shining, and smiling broadly. However, this smile did not bode well, considering who it belonged to, as well as her long silver hair in a ponytail and sharp brown eyes.

- "Are you interested in today's date or the time of your absence from this world, dear visitor?" she asked sweetly, causing me to flinch from a sense of wrongness, shock, fear, and a little trepidation.

My mind was completely blank, and my mouth just opened and closed as I couldn't think of a single word to say.

- "It seems that my beauty has captivated you, dear visitor. However, I could consider such a look as harassment," she said thoughtfully, putting her finger to her lips. "But, fortunately for you, I have a solution. Why don't we spend the whole... eternity... together?"

Who was that? Fucking Rizevim-chan, of course! But what the hell is she doing here, so close to the Vatican, where the Seraphim are right now?!

Did she know I'd be here?! No, that's impossible. My decision to come here was spontaneous, and... Wait. Who am I trying to fool, I know who she is.

- "What... What the hell are you doing here?" I managed to blurt out.

- "Can't I see the man I love with every fiber of my being, the man who keeps me awake at night in agony?" she replied with a question, then snapped her fingers, causing all the visitors and employees to bow and immediately leave the room.

- "No," I said.

- "You're hurting me, Romani, but it's okay. I'm a very patient woman and I know how to get what I want," Rizevim said, first with a sad expression, then with a confident one. "And judging by the look on your face, my new development has borne fruit."

What was she talking about? About the fact that I couldn't even recognize the demons, that is, Rizevim, who were so close to me. Yes, True Magic could unerringly determine the essence of creatures, but it had to be activated. However, she managed to deceive MY eyes, and that was already alarming.

- "I won't even ask how you achieved such a result."

- "Good, a woman should have her secrets, shouldn't she?" she giggled. "And by the way, the answer to your question would be a month. That's how long ago your aura disappeared. Won't you share where you were?"

- "You ask as if we're married."

- "Oh, I wouldn't mind at all. We could enjoy every second of our time together. Your eyes would be only on me and nothing else, and our sticky, sweaty bodies..."
